Tours to Ranthambore National Park, Rajasthan

Around 80,000 people a year visit Ranthambore, Rajasthan’s flagship national park. They come, first and foremost, to spot wild tigers, which here prowl the margins of a picturesque lake dotted with Rajput ruins. Poachers have taken their toll in recent years, reducing the big cat’s numbers to perilously low levels, but the reserve is small enough to ensure relatively high animal densities so your chances of success are better than average. Most hotels also arrange trips to Ranthambore’s tumbledown hilltop fort – worth the climb for the views over what was in former times a royal hunting reserve.
